Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 347 - 272: Blank Entwining, Blade of Time

Similar to the rewards selection experienced before, Wang Zhifan once again found himself torn over choosing the second-best rewards. After all, there were many good items at this level, but he could choose only a limited number.

However, considering there were other players nearby, he didn’t hesitate for too long. He quickly made a decision, then stored the treasure chest that appeared in front of him into his personal space, planning to check his haul according to the usual practice after returning.

"Little brother, we owe this dungeon clearing to you this time. Otherwise, with our abilities, we probably couldn’t have completed it."

As the Evil Spirit Building in front of them vanished completely, the oily-faced middle-aged man opened the treasure chest before him and came to thank Wang Zhifan.

"Don’t say that, I’m afraid I couldn’t have cleared this dungeon alone. Your contributions were also crucial."

Wang Zhifan responded earnestly upon hearing this. He wasn’t being modest, but he deduced from the BOSS’s behavior afterward that if they hadn’t jointly put on a show to fool the BOSS, they likely would have been stuck in this building, endlessly tormented until they broke down.

This time, Wang Zhifan truly felt that other players were the most useful. In the past, he had always carried the flag solo, seeking to clear dungeons by himself. This time, without the suggestions and help from these players, he would probably have been trapped indefinitely.

"Haha... Contributions vary in size, compared to your credit, what we’ve done is trivial. So this time, we must thank you! Not much more to say, hope we meet again!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The oily-faced middle-aged man chuckled, then disappeared from the dungeon before Wang Zhifan. Almost simultaneously, the cold-faced female player left quietly as well.

"That guy left so quickly without even asking to be friends... That’s a bit strange..."

Wang Zhifan was a bit puzzled by the person’s quick departure. He thought, given the other’s personality, there would have been a lot of topics to chat about.

"Big brother, I looted three rare items from this dungeon; it was a pretty good haul! Thank you so much for your help!"

The young man with dark circles packed up his treasure chest and stood up, also waving at Wang Zhifan before disappearing himself.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhifan found that of the original five players, only he and another player, the female Assassin in sportswear, remained.

"Don’t you want to know who ambushed you when the lights went out on the train?"

This female player revealed a somewhat mysterious smile and looked at Wang Zhifan as she spoke.

"Was it you?"

Wang Zhifan smiled back immediately at her words, eyes slightly narrowed.

"No... If it had been me, I wouldn’t dare say this in front of you now; your ice abilities are quite a counter to me."

The female player shook her head immediately upon hearing this, signaling Wang Zhifan to guess again.

"Forget it, at this point I’m not really interested in knowing."

Wang Zhifan shook his head indifferently, waving to bid farewell to her.

"Don’t rush! Let’s be friends! I can help you in the real world!"

The female player was at a loss seeing Wang Zhifan not taking the bait.

"If it’s meant to be, we’ll meet again!"

Wang Zhifan ignored her words and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the female player walked to where Wang Zhifan disappeared, sniffed, then clenched her fist and muttered:

"I’ve remembered your scent! When I have time, I’ll find you in the real world! I can’t miss out on such a prime ally!"

Returning the focus to Wang Zhifan, he had already returned to his bedroom in the real world, in the East City villa.

"This dungeon didn’t take long; probably only a few minutes passed in the real world."

After returning, as usual, he checked the time on his phone and found it was as he expected. This dungeon was relatively short, but short doesn’t necessarily mean easy. Dungeons that can’t be violently overcome actually constrain him quite a bit, or more precisely, constrain all players. They place high demands on a player’s strength, insight, and teamwork ability. Luckily, his teammates were capable and assisted him in clearing it.

"The Demon Slaying Belt can retire now, but this belt never really had much presence on me anyway."

Wang Zhifan then started to remove the rare equipment wrapped around his waist, casually tossing it into his personal space.

He remembered that his first belt was the rare Iron Mountain Belt, and the second was the Demon Slaying Belt. But now, he was suddenly jumping to the Epic Layer, a change that can’t help but be remarkable.

Soon, he took out his reward chest from his personal space, set it on the bedroom floor, and first took out the Epic Layer belt from it.

This Blank Winding Belt, true to its name, was a slender, jade-white belt. It didn’t look particularly eye-catching when worn, and he could easily hide it under his clothes, but its significant functions compelled him to take it seriously.

"Teleport!"

With a mindful thought, his body immediately appeared outside the current room door, and in another instant, back at his original spot inside the door.

"This belt is incredibly powerful just with this spatial ability, and it also has two other abilities. It’s remarkable... If I face spatial limitations in the future, I’ll have a way to escape. It greatly enhances my escape capabilities."

Recalling being trapped around the building in the previous dungeon, Wang Zhifan could still remember the embarrassment. His proud Dream-breaking ability was tightly suppressed. Apart from completing the task under those circumstances, there was no other way out. But with this belt, it was different. It was a qualitative upgrade of his strengths.

"The spatial defense and the other Spirit ability will have to wait to be tested... Let’s first explore this Epic Layer weapon."

The second item Wang Zhifan took out from the chest was the Blade of Time. Unlike the relatively ordinary appearance of the Blank Winding Belt, this longsword had a striking look, composed of numerous spots of light! Its overall color was a regal blend of gold and red, as if it were crafted from the sun itself, noble and dreamlike.

"This weapon’s power is based on time, making it a top-level configuration. However, using it to kill small monsters isn’t as effective as the Thunder Dragon Fury, and it doesn’t overpower elite monsters like the Ocean Messenger, only against powerful BOSSes can its value be truly appreciated. Utilizing time’s power on unworthy foes is a complete waste."

Handling the Blade of Time, brilliant as sunlight, Wang Zhifan knew without testing that this weapon was highly sophisticated. Yet, being high-end doesn’t mean it suits every situation. It’s tailored for the toughest battles, while in other scenarios, using the lower-ranking Thunder Dragon Fury or Ocean Messenger might be more convenient.

After a few gentle swings of this Epic Layer weapon, Wang Zhifan decided to store it back in his personal space. Its appearance was as dazzling as a Divine Artifact, so he couldn’t just wield it like an ordinary weapon without feeling it’s too excessive, ensuring he’ll only draw it against formidable enemies.

"Lastly, there’s this scroll, the skill is really practical, so I went with it."

Wang Zhifan lastly took out the outstanding-level reward from the chest, the skill scroll of Linked Destiny.

Even from the description alone, this scroll’s skill is most suitable for the Priest class. Although Wang Zhifan, as a Warrior, couldn’t make the best use of it, he chose it anyway due to its overwhelmingly powerful effect. In the future, he could train resilient pets to share damage, or during guided dungeon runs, he can carry weaker teammates more comfortably, without constantly worrying about them dying.
